Comment (by rustybird):

 > I wasn't able to reproduce these two issues.

 The "multiple messages to NoScript" problem is gone with the revised
 patch. I still have the "first site load" problem on a freshly extracted
 and patched TB - sorry if it's tediously verbose:

 1. Run system tor on `SocksPort 9150`, `ControlPort 9151`
 2. Extract `tor-browser-linux64-8.0a9_en-US.tar.xz` to a new directory
 3. In the extensions directory, `unzip -d torbutton at torproject.org/
 torbutton at torproject.org.xpi` and delete the .xpi
 4. In `torbutton at torproject.org/`, apply the revised patch with `-p2`
 5. Make a backup of the pristine patched `tor-browser_en-US/` directory
 6. Run `TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 ./start-tor-browser.desktop`
 7. Go to https://enable-javascript.com

 It shows "JavaScript is disabled in your web browser" until I refresh the
 site, at which point it switches to "JavaScript is enabled". Same for
 other websites that depend on JavaScript, e.g.
 https://twitter.com/torproject (after restarting with a new copy of the
 backed up directory from step 5).
